Water Erosion
• Too severe of slopes create excessive run-off with a snowballing effect

Types of crops to be grown
• Severe slopes require close growing crops to be grown

Farming Methods
• Slopes dictate farming methods such as, no-till, ridge-till, contour tillage

Specialized Equipment
• Severe slopes require special equipment such as hill-side combines with floating headers
